Check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website or flu.gov for more information about influenza. A weekly tracking claendar of flu activity in the US and internationally is available at the CDC surveillance site.

IUPUI ID is required to receive a free vaccine. Appointments for flu shots are not necessary. Flu shots are available at Coleman Hall during regular business hours. Students and employees are eligible for a free flu shot.

The North American seasonal flu vaccine for the 2011-12 winter is the same formulation as last year. It includes protection against two A strains: H1N1 (renamed the California flu), Victoria (H3N2- a 'Perth-like' strain) and one B strain (Brisbane). The vaccine confers immunity for approximately 6-8 months. See Sanofi's site for vaccine-specific information if interested (look at the Prescibing Information/Tearsheets section on the left side of the page and scroll to Fluzone). Our vaccine does not contain preservatives.

Many thanks to the IU School of Nursing and nursing students for their assistance in staffing IUPUI flu clinics.

IU Health provides free flu vaccine to IU Health employees. IU Health employees may come to Coleman Hall to receive the seasonal flu vaccine or go to an off-site clinic. IU Health ID must be presented to obtain a free vaccine.
